MACPHAIRSON CLONGLOCKETTY ANGUS McCLAN	A
Was the son of an elderly labouring man	A
You've guessed him a Scotchman shrewd reader at sight	B
And p'r'aps altogether shrewd reader you're right	B
	-
From the bonnie blue Forth to the lovely Deeside	B
Round by Dingwall and Wrath to the mouth of the Clyde	B
There wasn't a child or a woman or man	A
Who could pipe with CLONGLOCKETTY ANGUS McCLAN	A
	-
No other could wake such detestable groans	C
With reed and with chaunter with bag and with drones	C
All day and ill night he delighted the chiels	C
With sniggering pibrochs and jiggety reels	C
	-
He'd clamber a mountain and squat on the ground	B
And the neighbouring maidens would gather around	B
To list to the pipes and to gaze in his een	A
Especially ELLEN McJONES ABERDEEN	A
	-
All loved their McCLAN save a Sassenach brute	B
Who came to the Highlands to fish and to shoot	B
He dressed himself up in a Highlander way	D
Tho' his name it was PATTISON CORBY TORBAY	E
	-
TORBAY had incurred a good deal of expense	C
To make him a Scotchman in every sense	C
But this is a matter you'll readily own	A
That isn't a question of tailors alone	A
	-
A Sassenach chief may be bonily built	B
He may purchase a sporran a bonnet and kilt	B
Stick a skein in his hose wear an acre of stripes	C
But he cannot assume an affection for pipes	C
	-
CLONGLOCKETY'S pipings all night and all day	D
Quite frenzied poor PATTISON CORBY TORBAY	E
The girls were amused at his singular spleen	A
Especially ELLEN McJONES ABERDEEN	A
	-
MACPHAIRSON CLONGLOCKETTY ANGUS my lad	B
With pibrochs and reels you are driving me mad	B
If you really must play on that cursed affair	F
My goodness play something resembling an air	F
	-
Boiled over the blood of MACPHAIRSON McCLAN	A
The Clan of Clonglocketty rose as one man	A
For all were enraged at the insult I ween	A
Especially ELLEN McJONES ABERDEEN	A
	-
Let's show said McCLAN to this Sassenach loon	A
That the bagpipes CAN play him a regular tune	A
Let's see said McCLAN as he thoughtfully sat	B
'IN MY COTTAGE' is easy I'll practise at that	B
	-
He blew at his Cottage and blew with a will	G
For a year seven months and a fortnight until	G
You'll hardly believe it McCLAN I declare	F
Elicited something resembling an air	F
	-
It was wild it was fitful as wild as the breeze	C
It wandered about into several keys	C
It was jerky spasmodic and harsh I'm aware	F
But still it distinctly suggested an air	F
	-
The Sassenach screamed and the Sassenach danced	B
He shrieked in his agony bellowed and pranced	B
And the maidens who gathered rejoiced at the scene	A
Especially ELLEN McJONES ABERDEEN	A
	-
Hech gather hech gather hech gather around	B
And fill a' ye lugs wi' the exquisite sound	B
An air fra' the bagpipes beat that if ye can	A
Hurrah for CLONGLOCKETTY ANGUS McCLAN	A
	-
The fame of his piping spread over the land	B
Respectable widows proposed for his hand	B
And maidens came flocking to sit on the green	A
Especially ELLEN McJONES ABERDEEN	A
	-
One morning the fidgety Sassenach swore	H
He'd stand it no longer he drew his claymore	H
And this was I think in extremely bad taste	B
Divided CLONGLOCKETTY close to the waist	B
	-
Oh loud were the wailings for ANGUS McCLAN	A
Oh deep was the grief for that excellent man	A
The maids stood aghast at the horrible scene	A
Especially ELLEN McJONES ABERDEEN	A
	-
It sorrowed poor PATTISON CORBY TORBAY	E
To find them take on in this serious way	D
He pitied the poor little fluttering birds	C
And solaced their souls with the following words	C
	-
Oh maidens said PATTISON touching his hat	B
Don't blubber my dears for a fellow like that	B
Observe I'm a very superior man	A
A much better fellow than ANGUS McCLAN	A
	-
They smiled when he winked and addressed them as dears	C
And they all of them vowed as they dried up their tears	C
A pleasanter gentleman never was seen	A
Especially ELLEN McJONES ABERDEEN	A
